Will Akshun Mahajan Participate In A Reality Show Ever? Actor Reveals ‘Authenticity Is Very Important’

Akshun Mahajan has steadily built a strong connection with audiences through his consistent performances and grounded screen presence. As fans eagerly wait to see him in his next project, the actor has shared his thoughts on the rising influence of reality shows on Indian television and whether he sees himself stepping into that space someday.

Talking about the popularity of reality shows, Akshun believes they play a big role in shaping conversations at home, especially among young viewers.

“Reality shows are pretty huge in India,” he says, adding that he has witnessed their impact closely. “I really believe that they do have a growing influence, especially on households that have school or college-going individuals.”

Recalling his own growing-up years, the actor points out how reality shows often become a major topic of discussion.

“When I used to go to school, there were plenty of reality shows and a lot of kids used to discuss random stuff going on in the show,” he shares.

According to Akshun, this is why responsibility becomes important.

The actor feels that authenticity should never be compromised for entertainment.

“I feel reality shows should strike a balance between authenticity and entertainment because authenticity is very important,” he explains.

He also highlights the need for mindful language, especially now that digital platforms have expanded the reach of such content.

“The use of foul language needs to be monitored & controlled. With online platforms, I sometimes see that being disregarded,” Akshun adds.

When asked if he would ever participate in a reality show himself, Akshun is clear about his preferences.

“I’d consider participating in a show that feels organic and in alignment with the values,” he says.

He even names a format that excites him.

“Khatron Ke Khiladi is physically challenging, has a sporty vibe, involves extreme tasks, and pushes you to face your fears.”

For Akshun Mahajan, the right reality show would be one that tests strength and courage while staying true to its core values—something he would be excited to take on if the opportunity comes his way.
